There are worse, but yea, they’re fucking annoying
Anyone knows a good Android phone (brand) that works for daily usage and doesn’t spy on you?
And don’t recommend things like GrapheneOS and shit, they’re nice, but clearly not usable because you’re locked off too many apps, and end up still using Google
Can’t use mobile payment for one, then apps with integrity checks often block me. Might be highly related to the fact that I downloaded from Aurora instead of P Store, but yea I’m pretty sure some other are blocked as well.
I have a Google account in another country than the one I’m living in and a lot of apps are not accessible this way for example… might be my fault as well, I know
I heard bank apps are often an issue. I didn’t test it personally
Ah, I don’t game on my phone so I wouldn’t know about that, but all of my banking apps work and while I don’t normally use streaming services, I just downloaded and tested Netflix and Hulu and both loaded and took me to a login screen. I only actually logged in to Hulu because I don’t have a Netflix account, but I think it’s safe to assume it would’ve worked
Apple is such a piece of shit company.

I’ve been using GrapheneOS for a couple months and haven’t found any apps to be giving me trouble. What apps are locked off?

Banking apps, Netflix (and similar), Restaurant apps, certain online games.
That’s all I can think of, it be nice if I was corrected (Especially banking apps) since I wanted LineageOS.

A lot of banking apps do work on grapheneos.

What about LineageOS?
Should be similar because i guess the apps allow rooted phones.
I use e/os based on LineageOS and my banking apps are in that list

Yea so I’m pretty suck. The middle option I use is Apple. I don’t really trust them, but at this point it’s better than using Google services
